Life is a struggle for peace,A longing for rest,A hope for the battles to cease,A dream for the best;And he is not living who staysContented with things,Unconcerned with the work of the daysAnd all that it brings.

He is dead who sees nothing to change,No wrong to make right;Who travels no new way or strangeIn search of the light;Who never sets out for a goalThat he sees from afarBut contents his indifferent soulWith things as they are.

Life isn't rest --- it is toil;It is building a dream;It is tilling a parcel of soilOr bridging a stream;It's pursuing the light of a starThat but dimly we see,And in wresting from things as they areThe joy that should be.

CREATIVITY, as has been said,consists largely of REARRANGINGwhat we do KNOW in order to find outwhat we do not know. Hence, tothink CREATIVELY, we must be ableto look afresh at what we normallytake for granted.

Cherish your VISIONS;cherish your IDEALS;cherish the musicthat stirs in your heart,the BEAUTY that forms in your MIND,the LOVELINESS that drapes yourpurest THOUGHTS........if you but remain true to them,your world will at last be built.
